Boost Equivalent for Windows Events

In windows c++ I can create a handle to event

Handle h = CreateEvent(...)

I can then set and reset that event

SetEvent(...) and ResetEvent(...)

Finally, I can OpenEvents using the command OpenEvent(...)

Is there a boost equivelent for events?

I think you need to use boost::mutex, boost::unique_lock, boost::condition_variable and possibly bool in order to imitate Events.

You actually might need sort of WaitForSingleObject in order to wait for an event. Might be like this:

void wait_for_user_input()
{
    boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> lock(mut);
    while(!data_ready)
    {
        cond.wait(lock);
    }
    process_user_input(); // it might be not necessary to hold mutex locked here!!!
                          // if so just add curly braces like this:
                          // void wait_for_user_input()
                          // {
                          //    { 
                          //      boost::unique_lock<boost::mutex> lock(mut);
                          //      while(!data_ready) { cond.wait(lock); }
                          //    }
                          //    process_user_input();
                          // }
